Who are Manchester United's Europa League opponents FC Zorya?

FC Zorya Luhansk, to give them their full name, are one of Ukraine's eastern most football teams. In fact, they are so close to the Russian border that they currently play their home games further west in Zaporizhia, not far from Dnipro.
The origins of the club, like many sides in former Soviet countries, lie in a team formed for the workers at a locomotive factory in the city of Luhansk.
They took their current form in 1964 after a merger with a local trade union sports society but the side has had their name, which means 'dawn', since 1960.
